Oh really. The Census Bureau as late as 1892 was listing the children born of aliens/foreigners [aka “anchor babies”] as aliens/foreigners. I guess they didn’t get the memo

That’s not suprising. A person was being held as a slave as late as 1902 when the 13th Amendment had been ratified in 1865 because they “didn’t get the memo.”
The law often moves slowly.

Was that slave being held in the halls of Congress because that is where the testimony from the Census was being given in post #264.

So do some minds.

Not so fast DRONE, the report goes on and since you had to bring the ‘race card’ into the discussion, I feel obligated to correct your error in interpreting that which you have not completely researched before answering so ignorantly:

Mr. SCHADE. I have taken the official 3,231,000 of 1790 as a basis for my calculation, giving them an annual increase of 1.38 per cent, the most favorable of any country. By that calculation I have shown you that our population, had there been no immigration since 1790, would. in 1890, have been about 25,000,000 instead of 64,000,000.

Senator HALE. Your figures, from 1790 to 1890, would show the native population, including the blacks, to be 25,000,000?

> Mr. SCHADE. Yes, sir.
